Abstract

The paper discusses the effect of pre-sowing treatment of buckwheat with organic fertilizers on its structural indicators, yield and susceptibility to root rot. It was found that fertilizing has a positive effect on growth, development and yield of buckwheat in comparison with the control. Potassium humate was revealed to be particularly effective and showed the yield range from 3.2 t/ha in Chishminskaya and Barynya varieties and to 4.0 t/ha in Devyatka variety.

Highlights

  • In agriculture, soil depletion that entails decreased productivity is one of the most important problems

  • Flowering began in July–August when the temperature and moisture indicators were optimal and the hydrothermic factor attained 0.6–1.7, which affected the structural indicators and crop yield

  • The yield level in the growing season largely depends on weather conditions, and temperature and water regime in the experimental plot

Summary

Introduction

Soil depletion that entails decreased productivity is one of the most important problems. The most effective fertilizers for crops, should be currently used to replenish nutrients in the soil and plants. Organic mineral fertilizers help prevent soil degradation, increase productivity and the quality of the resulting product during growing of agricultural, horticultural and garden crops. Organic mineral fertilizers are a complex mixture that consists of organic and mineral components. Amino acids and others can be used as an organic component. Such fertilizers improve the soil structure and eliminate nutrient deficiency in plants. The mineral component is micronutrients, meso- and macronutrients (NPK), which are absorbed by plants in the shortest time
